Finishing up the O12 with the 2-10 woofers and I have to combine two 22uF caps to get 40 according to the plans. Obviously they would be in parallel but how is this wired exactly?
To illustrate this, I done made me a super realistic Paint drawring.
Looking at diagrams on the web, (which I am having a hard time understanding) I am thinking it's the top example with the bottom being in series. However when I think about it, the bottom example makes more sense with one cap going into another. Please excuse the ramblings of a moron but I don't want to screw this up.

Thank you for the help. I appreciate it. Another question on how to proceed. I mounted the Speakons to the dish and soldered a 2' long 16ga. cable to both. The plans mention 2 different ways to wire the crossover components.
For the best power transfer solder an inch long wire to the jack lugs and then from this jumper run separate wires to each filter section.
And...
The wiring is best done by running individual wires from each crossover section to the jack, but that can get rather crowded. The easier way is to run a single hot and ground wire from the jack to the woofer crossover components and use those two connection points as spots to also attach wires going to the mid and tweeter crossovers.
How much better would the power transfer be? Would it be audible? Could I just run the 16ga cable to the woofers and pigtail the mids/highs right after the Speakons?

Using a buss is my preference as well.
Clean and logical. It's easy to sort out routing later, and flexible for adding or removing segments.
That's why it's done on an industrial level and in domestic home power panel.
